NPM-DEPRECATE(1)			   General Commands Manual			    NPM-DEPRECATE(1)

NAME
       npm-deprecate

Synopsis
       

       Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

Description
       This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing a
       deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.

       It works on version ranges as well as specific
       versions, so you can do something like this:
	 npm deprecate my-thing@"< 0.2.3" "critical bug fixed in v0.2.3"

       SemVer ranges passed to this command are interpreted such that they do
       include prerelease versions.  For example:
	 npm deprecate my-thing@1.x "1.x is no longer supported"

       In this case, a version my-thing@1.0.0-beta.0 will also be deprecated.

       You must be the package owner to deprecate something.  See the owner and
       adduser help topics.

       To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string ("") for the message
       argument. Note that you must use double quotes with no space between them to
       format an empty string.
